The patches for Madden 09 and NFL Head Coach 09 have been in certification testing with Microsoft and Sony for some time now so here is the latest on where we are at with those.

(Updated) Madden 09 will be receiving its second patch at 5am ET on Tuesday morning. It should be arriving for both the 360 and PS3. Originally it was believed that the patch would come out in the early AM hours of Saturday but it missed that cutoff and is now set for the AM hours of Tuesday for release by Microsoft and Sony. The details on what will come with the patch can be found here.

(Updated) The patch for Head Coach was set to be released at 5am ET on Saturday but it too didn’t make it out. It may be the same 5am ET release as the Madden patch on Tuesday morning. However the PS3 will not be receiving the patch until possibly later this week or next week (there was a problem that required resubmitting). The details on what will come with the patch can be found here.

Not getting my hopes up for tonight. These things have a way of stalling for whatever reason. If it’s out by Sunday that would be fine with me. Thanks for the info Pasta.

Frazier said if not tonight then it would be sometime next week (monday or tuesday) assuming all testing is ok. Sony & MS don’t work on weekends.

Yeah just got an email from him about it. They’ve returned the patch to MS and Sony and have cleared it for release. If it doesnt come in the early AM hours it won’t be until Monday. It sounds like things are pointing more towards Monday in that he hasn’t received a response back from them yet regarding putting it out this coming AM.

Alright just got another update and it looks like it’ll be Monday for Madden. There is a slight chance it may come out in the early AM hours but neither MS nor Sony have stated that it will. So it would now be a pleasant surprise but place your expectations on Monday.

Question……..

How do you download a patch update???

Will it be automatic if you’re connected online, or do you have go to the online lobby in game and find it somewhere?;
It took me awhile to find out you have to start a game just to download latest roster…

Thx in advance!!

Hey Pasta, thanks for the info. Sucks about the PS3 HC09 patch though, guess it’ll be a while longer til we get to play a clean version of that.
